PATA tend to handle the high BUS speeds better. Not too such which ones handle it the best.

I think it doesn't matter. I have an old, old WD 2.5Gb, 5400rpm, that I used for some testing, and I got to 310.

Yeah it only flips out when you use SATA. If you wanted to be really safe you could pick up a 66mhz PCI card (think it would work with even SATA drives at high fsb).

this one seems nice

Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 8 40GB
IDE ATA/133 2MB cache 7200RPM

Think im gonna get that and give my SATA to my dad

That's what I have. 2 of them in a Raid0 array, but can't go above 302. They are nice! Good choice. :)

Note: I can't pass 302 with Raid0. It's not because of that drive.

yea my goal is to run this 2,6 @ 300fsb with the 5:4 divider and 5 2 2 2 timings :D

any nice IDE drive should be fine
